Swiss striker Blaise Nkfuo admits his confidence is high for the Seattle Sounders.

The 35-year old former FC Twente man went goalless in his first five matches for his new club but has four in his last two, including the match-winner against Chicago Fire on the weekend.

Nkufo said as a striker it was important to have confidence as well as the supply from his teammates to be regularly amongst the goals.

“As a striker, it’s a special position," he said. "You need your teammates, and then when you can score your first goal, the confidence comes back and it’s easy to find again the way to score goals. For me, during my career I had such a time. You need to find your right place and then everything will be fine."
